Today, I’m online doing the final webinar in a three-part series for PacificSource. The PacificSource organizers and participants have been fabulous. Everything has worked smoothly and the participants have engaged with many excellent thoughts and questions. We’ve got 503 registered for today.
Here’s the title and description of today’s webinar.
Strengths-Based Approaches to Management of Patient Suicidality
John Sommers-Flanagan, Ph.D.
Healthcare providers need to do more than conduct suicide assessments; they also need to flow from assessment into providing interventions to help patients move out of crisis and toward greater emotional regulation, hope, and health. In this webinar, using video clips and vignettes, you will learn at least five specific assessment and management interventions designed to help facilitate patient transitions from crisis to constructive problem-solving. These interventions are based on robust suicide theory, clinical wisdom, and empirical evidence on strategies for working effectively with patients who are suicidal.
For anyone interested, here are the ppts for today:
The ppts also include two videos, one of which is linked below:

Thank you so much John, your work and generous sharing is making such a difference. I have been sharing your model in England and professionals are finding it emminently helpful. I wonder if you and your readers might find our charity’s free STAY ALIVE app very helpful as regards to suicide safety planning, reasons for living discussions etc. It has been downloaded over 850000 times, is available in 14 languages, and contributing to measurable reductions in death by suicide.
